The evening couraging talk on having 2 — The Carroll Citizen t Pentecost 2019 My dear John Carroll Society Members and Friends, In our First Thursday/Third Thursday meditations in the last two years, we have focused on the well- known spiritual book of St. Francis de Sales, "Introduction to the Devout Life" published in 1609. It has been a wonderful two years as together members of the Society and friends probed the depth of the spiri- tual life of St. Francis de Sales and how, in a unique way, it applies to the spiritual journeys of the laity in his day and our own. In his 5th (and final) part of the Introduction, he suggests and encourages the reader to: "State openly that you desire to be devout. I do not say that you should assert that you are devout but that you desire to be devout. Don't be ashamed to practice the ordinary, necessary actions that bring us to the love of God. Acknowledge frankly that you are trying to meditate, that you would rather die than commit a mortal sin, that you are resolved to frequent the sacraments and to follow your director's advice, although some times for various reasons it may not be necessary to give his name.
